Criminally underrated masterpiece.
Great puzzler. Good story. Lots of optional content. Superb DLC campaign. Magnificent PC game with HUEG options menus.
I love it when you can "break" the game and gather a bunch of boxes and climb on the walls and skip stuff. Or come up with some other crazy shit like mirroring a beam from another maze to another. I think I haven't even solved all of the puzzles the "right way".
But.. then again maybe those things are there on purpose?
spoiler alert I thought the plot was the other way around. Like I was the contained AI and humans were testing me if I would break their rules. So I didn't so they wouldn't kill me. I got bored so eventually I tried it and THAT was the good ending.
no wait what. Did they mean this as well?
>"Don't go up the tower my son" >well, now I have to go up there right now >can't go all the way up yet >entire game is now having climbing the tower in the back of my mind
That and the glitched boxed room where he's having a breakdown still sticks with me.
Going through a second playthrough right now and its even better then I remember. The puzzles, music, art direction, and overall atmosphere are fantastic.
wtf I literally just finished the main game for the 1st time.
Going for the DLC this week. Can't wait.
Also, I haven't used any guides for regular puzzles, but I admit that I did look up how to reach 4 stars. There's no way most people figured out on their own how to solve that clock in the 1st world.
It's good, but as a puzzle game it's huge fault is that it basically doesn't take of the training wheels until the *very very end.* Thank god for Road to Gehenna or it'd be a complete puzzle snoozefest.
It really is. There hasn't been a game quite like it since.
The visuals, soundtrack, and story are all spot on and compliment the gameplay.
For me Tetris is #1. The Talos Principle is #2 though.
Special shoutouts for also being great:
Portal
Myst
Baba Is You
Lemmings
Superliminal
Antichamber
The Turing Test
Whenever I think humanity is beyond saving, I always think of The Talos Principle
not even in the top 50
Name 50 puzzle games that are better then.
play random puzzlescript games that were made in like 3 days and most will be better
So you're just a contrarian. Got it.
My friend was playing it last week

I respect Talos Principle but for me, it's Baba Is You. Feels so fucking good when a weird puzzle finally clicks.
>hasn't played Road to Gehenna yet
Should I go for it? Should I also replay the game with the Serious Sam DLC?
Road to Gehenna was good.
I didn't get all the stars or whatever to save the guy because I had just finished 100% the main game but it was good.
The admin star puzzles were my favourite by a mile. They're really unique and you shouldn't skip them.
Road to Gehenna is pretty good, especially if you participated in the forum culture of the 90's and 00's
That sounds good. I guess I should finally play it. I remember the base game made me cry like a sad sack.
used guide for DLC
incredible puzzle game. you are right OP

most of the time that's intentional since you're supposed to get stars that way

if heaven looked like either this or a spyro 2 hub world, i could die happy

literally 0 shame in that one
Wrong
I refuse to play any game developed in Israel.
Croteam is Croatian though.
Are there any more news on the sequel?

Likely coming 2024.
Noice. It's going to be interesting to see the setting for the puzzles.
>The best puzzle game ever made
That title clearly belongs to DROD.
It's good, but as a puzzle game it's huge fault is that it basically doesn't take of the training wheels until the *very very end.* Thank god for Road to Gehenna or it'd be a complete puzzle snoozefest.
Still love the game, but let's be real.
I thought the stars past world 1 were pretty good
Not true, that fan puzzle in world 2 was brutal.
such a kino soundtrack
>when elohim banishes the hologram
scared the fucking shit out of me right as I was getting used to the eerie atmosphere
